Production Rig Tubing Boards & Rod Baskets

Rod Baskets & HWF Storm Bar System

HWF custom builds and repairs rod baskets for production rigs. Our storm bar system, designed and installed in-house, adds a layer of protection to the rod basket. Once the rods are racked, the storm bars lower and lock into position across the rod fingers, securing the sucker rods so they can’t slide out. The system holds the rods in place in all conditions and is especially valuable in the high winds common across the Bakken.
